over wife's major stock holdings
"Conflicts of interest like this would pose ethical problems for any policymaker. But yours is especially problematic," the Republicans told Wyden.

Republicans are demanding Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden step down from his position as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee over his wife's major stock holdings.
"We are alarmed by reports of your wife's exceptionally large stock holdings, totaling $3 million, in four of the Big Five technology companies that you are tasked with overseeing – Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google," a group of national Republicans, led by New York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax, wrote to Wyden in a letter obtained by Just the News on Thursday.
Wyden's latest financial disclosure covers 2022, and it shows that his wife, Nancy Wyden, owns at least $1.5 million in the four major companies, but may have as much as $3 million in investments. She also made between $15,001 and $50,000 in dividends from Apple that year.
Notably, Nancy Wyden may still have some involvement in all members of the Big Five. The financial disclosure shows she sold Meta holdings worth between $50,001 and $100,000, and it currently lists her holdings in the company as "None (or less than $1,001)."

Wyden's office did not immediately respond to Just the News' request for comment, but a spokesman previously told The New York Times: "Mr. Wyden and his wife keep separate finances." The filing deadline for Wyden's 2023 financial report is May 15.
Commentary:
Apparently the Wyden's are only emulating the actions of Democrats like Feinsten and Pelosi, whose wealth has expanded by 1,000 during their tenures with the Congress of American politics.
It's business as usual for Democrat Neo-Marxist insiders.
It’s Right in Your Face corruption... We did nothing to police all the corruption now this is what we get.
Why is ut that Democrats never step down with impropriety. It’s something Republicans need to learn to do, even when the impropriety is proven with facts.
Another good example of corruption is the Menendez Corruption trial.
